The Portland Trail Blazers closed out the 2012-13 season with a loss -- their 13th straight -- 99-88 to the playoff-bound Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors led by as many as 16 in the game but the Blazers, as they have all season, battled back to cut the lead down to single digits. And it was that trait of this team that head coach Terry Stotts said he admired the most.

"Last game, I wanted our team to play hard," Stotts said after the game. "I told the team before the game -- it was important for us to play hard. Win or lose, play hard. ... Obviously it's disappointing to lose, but more importantly, I liked the way we played for the last game of the season."
